  2. close book in event handler is out of sync

    function closeBooks() {
    var books = app.books.everyItem().getElements();
    var i, ilen = books.length;

    for (i = 0; i < ilen; i++) {
        if (books[i].modified) {
            books[i].close(SaveOptions.ASK);
        }
    }
    alert('done');
    

    }

    if you call the closeBooks function, everything works fine.
    But if the function is used as a handler, the "done" message appears immediately, before the for loop complete.

    try adding a beforeQuit eventListener:
    app.addEventListener('beforeQuit', closeBooks);

    and close InDesign having one or more modified books to see this (strange) behaviour.

    The same function works fine if you target documents.

    Can't read XML attributes from tagged image contained into table.

    Hello, I have some problems when I use one script Javascript to read XML attributes of tagged images contained into tables.
    One XML file with data is imported into document with existing XML structure. In attached example there is a simply structure with one tagged text frame. When importing XML data, text frame contain one simply tagged table with one tagged image into one cell.

  5. batch open/close documents with script consumes lots of memory

    I have used the script to convert indesign files to idml or vice versa. It works as I expected.

    yet while I want to run another script during batch process to each file the memory which indesign consumes during process dramatically increasing.

    while normal batch process consumes at least 1GB for 100 document, with running script file with some process consumes at least 40-50GB RAM and It causes computer no to respond

  7. FindChangeByList not working

    1 The script stopped working. Doesn’t do anything.

    2 Please let the updater copy the FindChangeList.txt from the previous version. In most cases it’s part of a workflow that breaks with each update.

  8. Data Merge Image File Path Mac Big Sur

    Hi, I use data merge with images daily, after I updated my Mac OS to Big Sur the file path format changed.

    from FolderName:file.jpg
    to
    FolderName/file.jpg

    Any chance Data Merge can adopt to that soon?

    thank you
